Budget PlanningCounty TaxesDetected Jun 11, 2026

Santa Rosa County is holding a June 11, 2026 public hearing to renew its existing one-half cent local government infrastructure sales surtax for an additional five-year period beyond the current sunset of December 31, 2026. The business impact estimate notes that this surtax funds essential capital projects including transportation, water quality, natural resource preservation, public safety, and parks and recreation infrastructure, and that renewal would continue that dedicated revenue stream. The specific project list for the next surtax cycle is not in this document, but the renewal decision will shape hundreds of millions of dollars in capital spending authority across multiple departments from 2027 onward.Vendors who help the county prioritize, plan, design, or deliver infrastructure, public safety facilities, parks, and water quality projects can position themselves now by helping staff and commissioners translate surtax capacity into shovel-ready, voter-visible projects with strong business cases before and after the November 3, 2026 referendum.

Business Impact Estimate explicitly ties surtax use to transportation, water quality, natural resource preservation, public safety, and parks and recreation infrastructure.

Contract Admin

The Treasurer asked the committee to authorize cancellation of four mobile home tax sale certificates of purchase after the owners paid the delinquent taxes. The resolutions would return the parcels to the active tax rolls and end the County's interest. Named payment amounts included $655.80, $787.16, $982.56, and $1,023.60. This is not a new procurement, but it does show ongoing tax liquidation administration tied to Joseph Meyer and Assoc.'s delinquent tax program.
